Graphing

Front

What is graphing?

Back

Graphing is the process of representing data or mathematical relationships visually using graphs, such as line graphs, bar graphs, or coordinate planes.

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to plot points.

What does the point (4,7) represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The point (4,7) represents a location where the x-coordinate is 4 and the y-coordinate is 7.

How do you find the difference between two values in a graph?

Back

To find the difference, subtract the smaller value from the larger value.

Front

What is a bar graph?

Back

A bar graph is a visual representation of data using rectangular bars to show the quantity of different categories.

Front

What is the purpose of a line graph?

Back

A line graph is used to show trends over time by connecting data points with a line.

Front

How can you determine which category has the most votes in a bar graph?

Back

You can determine the category with the most votes by identifying the tallest bar in the graph.

Front

What does it mean to plot a point on a graph?

Back

To plot a point means to mark its location on the graph according to its coordinates.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.
